General dentistry brings prevention, diagnosis and treatment together. A consultation starts with your dental history, an examination and a discussion of the concerns that matter to you.
Care across the generations
- Regular dental check-ups and X-rays when clinically indicated.
- Root canal treatment (endodontics) for infection inside a tooth.
- Children’s preventive care, including fluoride and fissure sealants where suitable.
- Dental care for older adults, including fixed or removable replacement teeth and dentures.
- Sports mouth guards for amateur and professional athletes.
- Night guards or bite plates for grinding and clenching.
Understanding root canal treatment
When the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes infected, root canal treatment may help retain the tooth. Treatment involves removing infected tissue, cleaning the canals and sealing the tooth. Your dentist will explain whether further restoration or a crown is needed.
A plan that fits your needs
Your dentist will discuss the findings, suitable treatment choices and a review interval based on your oral health. Bring your current medication list and mention previous dental treatment or any anxiety about appointments.
Your dentist will explain suitable options, alternatives and the proposed next steps before treatment.
